An 18-year-old has pleaded guilty to animal cruelty for a videotaped incident in which he and two friends lit a turtle on fire and danced around it.
Joel Charles Ross of Hawley admitted they set the large snapping turtle on fire. He said they did it not once, but twice, and dressed up differently because they wanted to make their video "more funny and exciting.''
"I put the gas on the turtle and made a trail, and one of my friends ignited it with a lighter,'' he said.
The video was posted online. Ross was arrested after a police officer received it in an e-mail.
